Dorm D sings of the inconveniences of the early days in the Southwest complex. !««l Women ' s Inter-Residence Hall Council attempts to encourage competition among the women ' s residence halls and promote spirit among the girls living in them. It does so by sponsoring a five point program which includes the Inter-Residence Hall sing, float parade, snow sculpture, W.A.A. competition and scholastic average. In 1966, the Council plans to expand its program by sponsoring a coffee house on Saturday night of HER weekend and presenting a guest speaker. The Women ' s Inter-Residence Hall sing was held in Boyden with guests and dignitaries invited. The theme was Campus Life and the girls were encouraged to set original songs to familiar melodies.
